Daidarabotchi (ダイダラボッチ Daidarabocchi, lit. "Giant") was a gigantic yōkai in Japanese mythology. His size was so great that his footprints were said to have created innumerable lakes and ponds. In one legend, Daidarabotchi wanted to see which was heavier; Mount Fuji or Mount Tsukuba. So he weighed them on a great scale. However, when he was finished he dropped the latter, splitting its peak.
In the Nintendo DS game Okamiden, a destructiive robot from the moon named Daidarabotchi is set on a path to destroy the world.
